AC adapter cables and camera versions

[bohtho]

Hi,

I have just bought a Digilux 3 from the USA, but I live in Norway. What is the difference of the versions sold in these to regions ?

I am worried they are voltage specific because I saw Leica sells extra batteries on their site in three versions too. I hope the camera versions just have different wall socket cables included.

Doesn´t anyone know ? Or is it a stupid question ? I can assure you that the camera is not stolen or that there´s another reason why I need to know this.

Thomas, there is no reason to be rude and impatient.... By the way, the customer forum relates to non-digital cameras.........

The only item that might be voltage specific is the charger. I simple perusal of the specifications in the owner's manual which came with your camera will answer your question. Also, the charger will have a specifications plate, describing what voltage range it will accept.

Most of these chargers are self-regulating and will work between 110V and 240V. All you need to obtain is the region-specific plug adapter.

Oh, sorry, didn´t know this forum wasn´t for digital. Also I am afraid it´s the language barrier that makes me sound rude. Wasn´t meant that way. But I admit I probably was a bit impatient

I don´t have the camera in hand yet, that´s why I can´t check out anything myself yet. Just wanted to prepare myself. Anyway, thanks for your thoughts on the subject, Jan.


PS! You´re not of Czech heritage by any chance ... ? I am and your name sounded very familiar

Thomas,

Or is it ' Tomáš ' ?

Yes, born and bred in Prague, since 1968 in Canada. You are correct, ' Dvořák ' cannot be anything but Czech and I do love his music too.......

As to the Digilux 3, all you will have to obtain is a wall socket adapter. To cure your anxiousness - here is a link to Digilux specifications, manual etc.

Ok, thanks for the link.

My last name is Böhm by the way. But my grandfather´s mother was a Kubicek. My grandfather moved to Bavaria from Brno, and later with my father to Norway. I spent last summer in South Bohemia, Brno and Prague in a rented Skoda listening to Smetana. I just recently found Staropramen Beer here in Norway. I love your beer and your country .

Thomas,

Driving through southern Bohemia and listening to Smetana's Moldau (Vltava) is an experience I have enjoyed many times. Unfortunately, the river Moldau is far from Smetana's poetic interpretation these days. Many hydroelectric dams, no more ' Saint John's ' rapids....... one really needs a lot of imagination to hear the river in Smetana's music today.

All the best,

Jan
